Day 82: Friday on the Lake

I took off for half day Friday which you know I love.  Well, I headed home and loaded the double kayak and Kelly and I headed for the lake. This is where the exercise started. 

My nephew, God Bless him, can’t row a kayak for crud.  He tried and he poor guy failed.  No matter how many times I showed him the proper way to row, even adjusting his hand grips so that he held the paddle in the correct place he just couldn’t get it. 

What does that mean?  For half the kayak trip I spent more time fighting his poor rowing and trying to keep the boat straight than anything else.  By the end I was tired and my shoulders and back were burning from the strain. 

However it was a great day out on the lake our two nephews and our niece.  In case you are wondering my niece who is the same age as my nephew can row a kayak like it was her job.

Daily Recap:

Matt: A little over an hour out on the lake kayaking

Kelly: 30 with her personal trainer in the AM.  Then a little over an hour on the lake as well.
